The difference between this reading and the way the verse reads in the King James Version is very important. The old Bible says that "a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son."
In some new translation Mary is a "good woman" not a virgin.
And of course there are other examples.

Got that....but, what about the fact that there were several earlier translations of the scriptures BEFORE the KJV? Wouldn't those be closer to the original manuscript?
What makes the KJV the ONLY God-authorized version?
